2009 BMW X6

What a beast. And I don't mean in a good way. Who thinks this is a good idea. It's like a 4-door/coupe/suv/crossover. It's just such a strange concept. I guess I should leave final judgment for when I see it in person, but for the time being I am not a fan at all.

Maybe it is just one of those you have to see in person? Is this what BMW is bringing to the table to competed with the CLS? Whatever they think it competes with (maybe an Aztek?) it is definately going to lose in the stying department.

Aztek, we have found your missing long lost son....

I don't know what to make of it. I remember seeing an interview with Chris Bangle where he was describing the purpose of this design, but I still don't get it. And I don't think it's ugly, but it has zero appeal to me. That being said I wouldn't surprised if it was a hit in the suburbs. People seem to prize high seating positions and I can sort of understand that.

I can see it doing well in the northern regions actually. It's not meant for offroad, but it's a lot nicer to ride OVER the snow, instead of plowing through it. Other than that benefit, I see no real benefit of this type of vehicle over a regular car, or SUV.

Personally I don't find it as ugly as most on here seem to. It definately isn't Aztek/Ridgeline ugly, it just looks like a car with oversized tires to me.

I actually really like it. I'm not a big BMW fan by the least bit, but I would consider this. It reminds me of a Paris-Dakar racer or those Pikes Peak Porsches they used to run. Kind of BMWs answer to the FX45 (another personal favorite).
======================

This reminds me of the Compass! I see some resemblance.

That's true FX45, it does look extremely similar, as a matter of fact then why aren't the same people screaming about how ugly the FX45 is then?

Is BMW trying to make a SUV version of each car model? First the X5, then X3, now X1 and this. Is it just me or are there about to be too many SUV product offerings at your local BMW dealer?
